Some Recommended Books on Strategy and Managing Strategic Change & Implementation

lists over 48,000 books when you search the topic of strategy! It would take weeks (!) to read all of the listings of the books, much less the books themselves. So here are a few of my favorites on the topic (all of which can be found at in their books area; check your local book distributor for access):

Porter: Competitive Strategy (a seminal book, lots of lists)

Porter: Competitive Advantage (follow-up to Competitive Strategy, it summarizes the former in a couple of chapters and adds further content)

Mintzberg: Strategy Safari (Mintzberg helped popularize the incremental approach to strategy and he’s an idiosyncratic writer that some find hard to fathom, but there is some good material in this)

Grant: Contemporary Strategy Analysis (very scholarly, but very good)

Robert: Strategy Pure & Simple (very practical)

Hamel & Prahalad: Competing for the Future (a fine book looking at various aspects of strategy)

Kim and Mauborgne: Blue Ocean Strategy (strategy when competing in newly defined market segments)

Christensen: The Innovator’s Dilemma and The Innovator’s Solution (2 sequenced books looking at the strategic challenges facing companies that are trying to determine whether/how to compete in changing markets, especially those driven by technological innovation)

Brown & Eisenhardt: Competing on the Edge (dealing with chaos and rapid change environments)

Hrebeniak: Making Strategy Work (implementing strategy)
